Well, I learned something today.

Well, dang, that's the same type I do.  I made a few minor changes.  But otherwise the same.  Made seven of those for myself and family members for Christmas.

Making two more now but I'm stalled on the edge work that you are working on now.  Hence my interest in your solution!  Forge on!   :biglaugh:

Yeah, I was having trouble with the edge. Then I decided that I'd be well off to just cover the edges and the interior in fur. The other exposed edges I'm burnishing. I bought me a burnishing tool and compound and I've been experimenting with it.

I was about to ask if you liked that style. Then you go on to say you've made seven with two more on the way. You must like these.

Well, the first seven was one for myself and the other six for my two sons in law and four grandsons.  Don't really have a plan for the two on the bench.  Had some leather left over and decided to make a couple more.  Handy for trade goods!

I've used bow quivers but don't care for them.  There is always at least a daypack on my back while hunting so back quivers are out.  A side quiver and a single arrow stalker has been the most satisfactory system for me.

I've got the top finished. I'm going to have to order another rabbit pelt to do the base. Here's a picture of the top.
 

The base will match. For the spine I have a piece of red oak that I've stained with a dark mahogany stain. I'm waiting for the dull finish polyurethane to dry before I mount the top. I figured I'd glue it on and strap it down. Shouldn't go anywhere.

Looks great!   :clapper:  

I like your strap ring.  What are you going to use for a strap?  My previous 7 I used nylon webbing.  Could not find a reasonable price on leather strap and could not get them out of the piece of leather on hand.

I'm going to try to skive down a strap out of a belt kit I have. I'm also going to make it two piece with a double hook for adjustment.

I like the double hook idea.  Ive come up with a piece of leather long enough to cut out two piece straps.  There are several buckles in my plunder box.  Need to be able to size them to keep the buckles off the shoulder.

The price of plain strapping material at Tandy was kinda surprising!

Yeah the price of strapping is ridiculous. I've spent enough on this quiver I don't need to spend another $12 just to have a strap. I think I should have enough material to make a two piece strap, or a three piece if I have to. We'll see. I'm taking a break from the quiver for the time being. I've got other more important projects to finish up first.
